Don't believe us? Consider this: In 1998 alone we had both a Mopar engine and a project Duster on the cover. There were also three Buicks and two Fords on the cover, plus an Olds engine. Who knows what 1999 will hold?

The bottom line is that we're working hard to bring you more of what you want to see. Our recent coverage of the '98 Buick GS Nationals sent readers gonzo, so when we heard that the 18th annual Mopar Nationals was returning to its roots at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio, we were there. The MoNats had a several-year hiatus in Indy, but fans demanded the nighttime action that could only be had on Brice Road. We were wow'd, so here are five lip-smacking-good pages of '98 Mopar Nationals coverage for you to ogle. It was double-boffo bitchin'. If you're digging this type of rarely seen coverage, then let us know. Who knows where it may lead-maybe even editorial on an AMC gathering! Somebody stop us before we hurt ourselves.

3/30Watching the Super Pro cars hustle down the 1,320 was sheer merriment. After a belching burnout, fans were treated to wicked wheelstands and stellar 9-second e.t's. The only way life could have been better is if we could have finagled a free ride, but we were denied such passage.
